Lote Finca La Colonia

Mendoza Malbec

Bodega Norton Lote Finca La Colonia Malbec from the renowned Mendoza region of Argentina offers an exceptional tasting experience. This Malbec greets you with a full-bodied richness, showcasing a lively and mouthwatering level of acidity that balances out its powerful fruit intensity. Characterized by prominent notes of dark fruit, particularly blackcurrant and ripe plum, it also reveals subtle hints of tobacco and spice. The tannins are high and structured, providing a robust backbone to the wine, ensuring a long, satisfying finish. Mendoza's unique terroir, with its high-altitude vineyards and ideal sun exposure, contributes to the wine's complexity and depth. This carefully handcrafted Malbec is not only a delight for the palate but also a testament to the region's storied winemaking tradition.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
